What type of front involves fast moving thunderstorms and severe weather?

1 answer:

6 0

The answer is "Cold Front".

A cold front is characterized as the change zone where a cool air mass is supplanting a hotter air mass. Cold fronts for the most part move from northwest to southeast. The air behind a cold front is recognizably colder and drier than the air in front of it.

What is the role of the nervous system?

zimovet [89]

The nervous system is responsible for sending, receiving, and interpreting information from all parts of the body. The nervous system monitors and coordinates internal organ function and responds to changes in the external environment. (The role) The central nervous system consists of the brain and the spinal cord. It is part of the overall nervous system that also includes a complex network of neurons, known as the peripheral nervous system. (Central nervous system)

Sometimes the tar of a newly paved road gets sticky on a very hot summer day. What causes this?

Ksivusya [100]

I’m pretty sure it is caused by the heat of the sun warming it up back into its original state of tar

How fast must an object move before its length appears to be contracted to one-fourth its proper length? (Give your answer in te

Tresset [83]

Answer:

0.97c

Explanation:

From the relativistic equation for length contraction, we have

$l$ = $l_{0}\sqrt{1 - \beta }$

where

$l$ is the final length of the object

$l_{0}$ is the original length of the object before contraction

β = $v^{2} /c^2$

where v is the speed of the object

c is the speed of light in free space = 3 x 10^8 m/s

The equation can be re-written as

$l$ / $l_{0}$ = $\sqrt{1 - \beta }$

For the length to contract to one-fourth of the proper length, then

$l$ / $l_{0}$ = 1/4

substituting into the equation, we'll have

1/4 = $\sqrt{1 - \beta }$

substituting for β, we'll have

1/4 = $\sqrt{1 - v^2/c^2 }$

squaring both side of the equation, we'll have

1/16 = 1 - $v^2/c^2$

$v^2/c^2$ = 1 - 1/16

$v^2/c^2$ = 15/16

square root both sides of the equation, we have

v/c = 0.968

v = 0.97c

Ad libitum [116K]

Illluminance is the measurement of photo-metric power. That means, illuminance is the rate of photo-metric flux that is received by a surface per area. It is usually expressed as a unit of W/m^2. Thus, from the choices, the answer we're looking for is illuminance.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

$v_{ic}=92.53 m/s$

Explanation:

We need to apply conservation of momentum and energy to solve this problem.

Conservation of momentum

$p_{i}=p_{f}$

$m_{c}v_{ic}=(m_{c}+m_{w})V$ (1)

m(c) is the mass of stick clay
m(w) is the mass of the wooden block
v(ic) is the initial velocity of clay
V is the final velocity of the system clay plus wood.

Conservation of total energy

The change in kinetic energy is equal to the change in internal energy, in our case it would be the energy loss due to the friction force. Let's recall the definition of work, it is the dot product between force and displacement, Therefore:

$\Delta E=W$
